2024-11-11 15:40:31The room fell into a tense silence after Zaiden’s bold declaration. Mr. Randall blinked, then scoffed, a smirk forming as he leaned back in his seat.
“You must be joking,” Mr. Randall said, his tone dismissive. “That part of the reward was just to entice people, we don't really mean it. I will give you ten million dollars. It’s more than enough for what you’ve done. So, let’s be reasonable here. Take the money, and let’s keep things… uncomplicated.” Zaiden stood straight, his expression calm but resolute. “I don’t want the money. I want Cynthia.” Mr. Randall’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he realized Zaiden wasn’t backing down. “Young man, you are being absurd. This is the Randall family we are talking about, not some common household where whims are entertained. Take the ten million, or I will make it fifteen, but you need to forget about marrying Cynthia.” Zaiden didn’t flinch, his voice steady. “Money isn’t my concern, Mr. Randall. I have saved her life as my part, and it’s her hand in marriage that I want. Do it as your part”. At this, Mr. Randall’s patience snapped. He slammed his fist on the table, the loud thud echoing through the room. “Enough! You are a blind beggar, look how hagged you are, and you think you are entitled to marry into this family? Have you lost your mind?”. Dustin, leaned forward with a smirk, his voice dripping with disdain. “blind doctor, Do you even hear yourself, Zaiden? Marry Cynthia? You’re barely fit to be in the same room as her, let alone think about marriage. You must really be out of your depth here.” Fiona, Cynthia’s cousin, sneered, crossing her arms as she looked Zaiden up and down, “haha, Just because you happened to treat her doesn’t mean you have the right to make demands. You are still just a… a blind nobody who got lucky., you are delusional if you think someone like Cynthia would ever be interested in you.” Zaiden remained silent. Another family laughed, a cold, mocking sound. “Look at him, standing there like he’s some noble prince. You can take the money or leave with nothing, but you won’t be getting Cynthia do that before things get worst.” Mr. Randall, now visibly irritated, leaned forward, his voice dripping with menace. “I’m being very generous, Zaiden. You don’t want to be on my bad side. Take the offer before you regret this.” Zaiden finally spoke, his voice steady and calm. “I don’t fear threats, Mr. Randall. What I want is Cynthia. She deserves a choice in this matter, don’t you think?”. Then Mrs. Hailey chimed in, "look, I am very happy that you treated my daughter, but take the money and go, my daughter is not Interested in you". Then unexpectedly, Cynthia chimed in, "I am interested in him, just as you all promised. I will marry him. it is a promise you made and you should fulfill it". Mr. Randall’s expression hardened. “What the hell are you saying Cynthia, don't you look at him, his clothes were all tore. this man is nothing, he can never meet up to your standard". "Standard?, I don't care about that anymore, he saved me, cure my blindness and you promised to give me to him. don't betray him!". Zaiden smiled, he didn't believe Cynthia would say that. maybe the cure of his blindness on the way. "I think everything is okay now, she wants me also", Zaiden said. "You better shut up, her opinion doesn't matter, She’s my granddaughter, and as long as she’s under this roof, she will follow my wishes. And I say this marriage will never happen.” Fiona let out a scornful laugh. “cynthia being blind for a long time has affected her mentally, I mean, what can he even offer you?. Cynthia you deserve a man who can give you the world—not a… a broken blind man” Dustin smirked. “Exactly. Cynthia is not mentally okay, you in this kind of family, God forbid". Zaiden’s calm mask finally slipped, and a cold edge entered his voice. “I didn’t ask for your approval, boy. she wants me, so you all opinions don't matter.” Dustin’s face flushed with anger. “how dare you talk to me like that". Zaiden’s lips tightened, but he kept his voice level. “You all are the arrogant and dishonest people, but, just like I said, your opinion all don't matter, since she wants me.” Cynthia added again, "Yes, I want him, let not prolong this". Mr. Randall’s expression turned dark, his patience exhausted. “You are finished here, Zaiden. Either take the money and leave, or you get you bone crushed and get beaten.” Zaiden straightened, his gaze unwavering. “i am not leaving!". Mr. Randall smiled, "I like your courage then", He said then picked up his telephone, "Hello, come in here right now, bring 10 guards with you, and come and beat this thing out of here!!!". Cynthia immediately went rogue, "What are you doing, you are going to beat my savior, I won't take that". She wanted to stood up but her mom held her down, "This is for your sake, not in my life time you will marry a garbage!". Then the door burst opened, and Ten angry looking men rushed in, with a long baton in Thier hand. Before Zaiden could know it, they had surrounded him.

Zaiden stood his ground as the guards closed in, "Is this, how you treat people?". Mr. Randall leaned back with a smug expression, watching with satisfaction. "This is what happens when a man doesn't know his place," he sneered. “You have brought this on yourself, blind fellow.” Zaiden’s expression remained calm, his blind eyes focused forward. He could feel the shift in the air as the guards surrounded him, the subtle vibrations in the floor from their movements. His senses were razor-sharp, honed from years of adapting without sight. One guard stepped forward, baton raised. Zaiden dodged, moving with a fluid precision that shocked everyone in the room. His hand shot out, gripping the man’s wrist and twisting until the baton fell from his grasp with a loud clang. In one swift motion, Zaiden spun, using the man’s own momentum to throw him to the floor. The other guards hesitated, momentarily stunned by his unexpected prowess. They all stepped back. But Mr. Randall barked, “What a

Collins’s face twisted with anger as he spat, “How could you choose him over me, Cynthia? I am the one with wealth, influence, the one who can offer you everything. But you—” he gestured towards Zaiden, sneering—“you choose this blind beggar? He has nothing, Cynthia. He is nothing!”.Cynthia held her ground, her voice calm but unwavering. “That’s my decision, Collins. I have already get detached from you over the years, I'm sorry, let just forget we even know each other!".Collins’s jaw tightened as he leaned in, his tone laced with disdain. “Cynthia, don’t be foolish.

Do you think this… this blind man can help you run a business? How are you going to pull it off with him?”.Cynthia’s gaze sharpened. “Don’t worry about my company, Collins. I will find a way to rebuild it myself.”He scoffed, his laughter bit

Cynthia and Zaiden found themselves alone in the quiet room. Cynthia paced back and forth, her face tight with regret. “I shouldn’t have accepted the bet,” she whispered, pressing a hand to her forehead. “Collins set it up to make me look like a fool, and now… I have two months to do the impossible. How could I be so reckless?”. Zaiden stepped forward, reaching out gently. “Cynthia, don’t worry. We’ll find a way.” But as his hand touched her arm, she jerked back, eyes flashing. “Don’t, Doctor,” she said, her voice edged with a sharpness he hadn’t heard before. “You need to understand that this—us—isn’t love. It’s just a promise made, nothing more. I only kept you close because… I pity you. You are blind, and that… that’s why I wanted to help you, nothing else. So please, don’t touch me unless I say so.” For a moment, a shadow passed over Zaiden’s face, but he nodded slowly, a soft, sad smile forming on his lips. “I understand, Cynthia,” he said quietly. “But I don’t believe pi

Cynthia’s hands tightened on the steering wheel, her mind racing with the weight of what Zaiden had just agreed to. She couldn’t understand why he was so confident, so certain that he could make a deal with the Spearhead Gang. Her eyes flickered nervously to him, but he sat calmly in the passenger seat. "Zaiden, this is insane," she muttered and faced him, her voice laced with frustration. "You are walking into the lion’s den. You don’t know what they’ll do to you! This is madness!" Without warning, Zaiden’s voice broke the silence. “Cynthia, look out!” She snapped her head forward, only to see a van speeding toward them, its headlights blinding in the night. Panic surged through her, and her hands jerked on the wheel, swerving the car just in time to avoid a collision. Her heart was racing as she regained control of the car, pulling it back into the lane. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. “How did you know?” she gasped, her voice trembling slightly. “You are blind, h

Don's eyes widened in disbelief. His face twisted in confusion, and for a moment, he seemed almost paralyzed by what had just happened. "You are... you are really blind?" he asked, "Or is this just some trick? A setup to make me drop my guard?"Dustin stood frozen, his own disbelief written all over his face. "What the hell? This man… is blind! i am sure he is pulling some trick. " He blinked a few times, trying to process what had just unfolded before him. Zaiden’s calm demeanour never faltered, "Let just settle this without violence."Don, visibly rattled, sneered as he stood up from his chair. "Well, damn, I will give you credit for that. two of my men down by a blind guy, that’s impressive. But you are just lucky." His eyes narrowed, and he motioned for two more men to step forward, their heavy boots echoing against the bar’s floor.The new two burly men charged forward, fists raised, but Zaiden was quicker than anyone could have expected. In one smooth motion, he twisted their

Did you just slap me because of this useless fellow? This blind man and an orphan, what is this about” Dustin asked, incredulous.“Call him useless again, and I will cut your tongue out,” Don warned through clenched teeth. Dustin went silent, his lips pursed in disbelief.Don turned to Zaiden, bowing slightly. “I’m… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were here for just a deal. I… I…”Zaiden, maintaining a calm but firm expression, cut him off. “We are here for the deal, Just give a signed agreement and we will be on our way!”.Don glanced up nervously. “Our boss…” He hesitated, but Zaiden shot him a warning look.Don quickly corrected

Fiona folded her arms, and scoffed at what Cynthia just said, "Getting the deal doesn’t validate a blind man to become a manager. A manager of all things. Are you out of your mind?".Cynthia stepped forward, her voice cold and firm. "Don’t forget, Fiona, it was Dustin who made the bet. He agreed that Zaiden would take the position if he got the deal. grandfather was right here!”.Fiona turned to Mr. Randall, her voice sharp. "Father, are we really going to jeopardize the wellbeing of the company because of a childish bet? This isn’t a joke! Dustin might be reckless, but at least he’s capable. Zaiden is blind! He doesn’t have the skills or the vision—look at him, how would he be able to manage anything. Think of the company's reputation!".Zaiden, calm but assertive, interjected, "Mr. Randall, you were right here when Dustin made the bet. Everyone in this room heard it. I uphold my end of the deal. Or this family just sucks in keeping their promises!”.Fiona screamed, “look at him, bei

As Zaiden and Cynthia exited the meeting room, Cynthia clung tightly to his arm, guiding him down the hallway. she whispered, “Zaiden, Crestview is impossible. I don't think we would have a chance”.Zaiden smiled faintly. “Believe”.Before Cynthia could respond, they reached the hallway leading to the main doors, where Fiona was waiting with her arms crossed. Dustin stood next to her, smirking. As Zaiden and Cynthia walked closer, Fiona casually stuck her leg out, causing Cynthia to trip. She stumbled forward with a gasp, but Zaiden’s hand shot out, catching her around the waist before she could fall.“Careful,” he said softly, steadying her.Fiona burst into mocking laughter, her voice loud and grating. “Look at this! The great Zaiden, the blind fellow, saves his damsel in distress. And this is the man who thinks he can handle Crestview? someone that can't even walk by himself”.Dustin added, “You are pathetic, Zaiden. You and Cynthia should stop dreaming.

"Crestview values strong partnerships, and we want to work with you directly. only you, not the other middle man, I will call the CEO directly and tell him this.

She had come here expecting some little trouble, yet it happened so easy.After the formalities, they left the building and got into the car. Cynthia couldn’t stop looking at Zaiden, admiration clear in her eyes."You were right," she said, her fingers tightening around his arm.

Mitchell in trouble
That morning, Zaiden and Cynthia made their way to Crestview to finalize the partnership. As they entered the building, they were immediately met by Mitchell again. Mitchell crossed her arms, her lips curling into a mocking smile.“Well, well, what the hell are you two doing here?” she sneered. “Didn’t I make it clear yesterday that you shouldn’t bother coming?”.Cynthia frowned, confused. “Mitchell, we were asked to come today. the manager approved this this. Why are you acting like this?”.Mitchell let out a cruel laugh. “Oh, Cynthia, don’t act all innocent. I wasn’t here yesterday, so whatever lie you are trying to spin won’t work on me. , now you are trying to weasel your way in with lies?. Pathetic.”Cynthia’s voice wavered, but she kept her composure. “This isn’t a lie. We’re here because we were told to meet the board. Why are you making this so difficult?”.Mitchell went home early yesterday and didn't hear about the partnership. She even came late today, so she missed ever
Cynthia wants Zaiden.
Cynthia then spoke, her voice firm yet calm. “You should all thank Zaiden instead. He made this possible by pushing me by believing in me when no one else did.” Mr. Randall frowned, his sharp eyes locking onto hers. “Zaiden did nothing, Cynthia. You did it all. You’ve proven your worth, not him.” Mrs. Hailey, always critical, added with a scoff, “Why lean your success on another person? Own it, Cynthia. You deserve the credit.” Zaiden, unfazed, leaned on his cane and smiled faintly. “Anyway,” he began, his voice steady, “what about what was promised? The 300 million dollars and allowing me to stay with Cynthia?” Mr. Randall sighed, rubbing his temples. “We’ve already decided to allow you to stay, Zaiden. As for the 300 million dollars, it will happen after Cynthia meets with the board and signs the documents officially.” Cynthia’s gaze hardened. “I’ve already done what you wanted,” she said, her tone rising slightly. “I lifted the percentage by an additional 30%.

Cynthia was fuming, her frustration directed at Zaiden. As soon as they stepped into their home, she turned to him, her voice low but filled with anger. “Why did you have to drag me into this? You knew it would be impossible. You shouldn’t have made mouth about making it happen in a day”.Zaiden leaned on his cane, his expression calm despite her outburst. “Since you have submitted the file to the receptionist, things will work out, Cynthia. Trust me.”“Trust you?” Cynthia scoffed, her voice trembling. “I didn’t submit it, I forgot it, and you think Itt would work out because of some forgotten file."Before Zaiden could respond, Dustin and Fiona entered the living room, smirking as if they had been waiting for the drama to unfold.“Well, well,” Dustin began, leaning casually against the doorway. “By the looks of it, things didn’t go too well, huh?”.Fiona, lounging on the couch, chimed in with a mockingly sweet voice, “Oh, Cynthia, don’t tell me you your blind fiancé fail. he reall

How may I assist you?”Cynthia straightened her shoulders and spoke clearly. “I’m Cynthia Randall. I’m here to meet with the manager regarding an investment opportunity.”The receptionist nodded and picked up the phone. “One moment, please.”While waiting, Cynthia glanced at Zaiden, who stood calm and collected, as if he had already figured all of this out.After a brief conversation on the phone, the receptionist turned back to them. “I have made a call, but Ms. Cellinina is currently out of the country for business. However, Mr. Tao, our manager, will meet with you directly since he is also briefly not around. his
The couple's argument
Cynthia paced the room, her frustration palpable. She turned sharply to Zaiden, her voice laced with anger and disbelief. “How could you say that? How could you accept that insane challenge? One day? Are you out of your mind?”. Zaiden sat on the edge of the bed, his expression calm but thoughtful as he rest on his cane. “Because I know you can do it,” he said simply. Cynthia threw her hands up, incredulous. “Stop acting like you know me so well! We have only been together for three days! Three! You know nothing about me, Zaiden. I can’t do this!” Zaiden sighed, standing up and moving closer to her. “Cynthia, you’re underestimating yourself. Just believe in yourself for once.” She scoffed, crossing her arms. “So, all that bluffing of yours in the living room? That was just to tell me to believe in myself? You have no plan, no strategy, nothing? You’re telling me to pull this off on blind faith?” Zaiden looked at her seriously and said it like a joke. “Not entirely. I do have an

Mrs. Hailey was seated in the living room, her lips pursed, and Dustin leaned casually against the wall, smirking. Mr. Randall cleared his throat. “Zaiden,” he began, his voice cold but measured. “You have proven yourself useful tonight, but don’t mistake that for acceptance. The only reason you’re not being thrown out at this moment is because of your connection to Mr. Vincenzo. However, you’ll be accepted here partially. You are beneficial in your own way, but don’t overstep your boundaries. This is still my house.” Zaiden nodded. Cynthia clenched her fists but said nothing. Mr. Randall turned to Cynthia, his tone sharp. “Now, as for you, Cynthia, your work as the sales and PR manager will begin tomorrow. In two days, I expect you to find a way to increase our stock value by at least 30%.” Cynthia’s eyes widened. “What? Increase the stock by 30

She could feel their stares."So, she is wearing something that isn't hers.""it doesn't fit her!. look at her!!".

The atmosphere in the room shifted dramatically as everyone’s attention stayed fixed on Zaiden. They are all treating him with respect. "Wow, Don... treating him with respect. " "Who the heck is he!. let us go and get close to him," another person said. Everyone was talking to him with polite while some were even trying to talk to him. “What makes you so close to Don?” Mr. Randall asked, his voice tinged with both intrigue and suspicion. Zaiden was about to respond when Dustin sneered, arms crossed, and a sly grin creeping onto his face. “What do you all think?” he said loudly, ensuring everyone could hear. “I’m sure they are using Zaiden for drug transportation and just protecting their means. That’s the only explanation.” A ripple of murmurs spread through the crowd, the tension growing palpable. Zaiden scoffed, his voice calm but cutting. “That’s absurd,” he said simply. Dustin, emboldened by the crowd’s growing curiosity, pressed further. “Then explain it,” he deman
